"The slave maid is dull, and she is not as smart as the master," Yurong looked around vigilantly and said: "The slave maid just thinks that this Luo Yi is not a good person, so I hope the master will think twice." ”

"You think I helped her to win her over, since I let Shui Bi inadvertently reveal it, then I don't want to sell her favor," Gu Qingwan still chuckled, she looked into the distance and said, "Since she is stepping on my position, isn't it normal for me to behave like this today?" ”

Gu Qingwan is just a fourth-grade Ronghua at this time, and even self-reporting is still a problem, not to mention winning over others. If she moves this idea of pulling the party for personal gain, not the queen, even the emperor will not help her, but she will lose more than she gains.

This lotus festival is coming, and the palaces are rushing to make this lotus lantern every day. Although not all palace masters are skillful people, there are always clever minions in their palaces.

Gu Qingwan is the master who is not so ingenious, and fortunately she has a few ingenious slaves. Shui Bi and Yurong began to prepare for this lotus lantern making early in the morning, and this lotus festival in Jiangnan is also a grand occasion in the city, Gu Qingwan also quietly went to the riverside of that street to let go of the lotus lantern.

The previous dynasty was busy with government affairs, and the emperor did not come to this harem for a few days, so the concubines also hoped to pull the emperor's attention back through the lotus festival.

Liuzi has also been extremely busy these days, looking around for the lotus lantern style made in the other palace. And the people in the other palaces also sent people around to investigate, and they stubbornly adhered to their own ideas. This situation reminded Gu Qingwan of the bidding meeting in her previous life, not only wanting to know the bidding price, but also holding on to her own reserve price.

Although the emperor did not choose a lotus lamp, but this is the case, and there are still many people who really do it. Rao is a person like Gu Qingwan who is not skilled in embroidery, and he has come up with ideas for making lotus lanterns, so that the emperor can ask her to talk about herself without shame.

When Xing'er came over to ask Gu Qingwan when she would pass the meal, Liuzi stood next to Xing'er, but her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Lord, the sixth son wants to see you," Yurong helped Gu Qingwan to go over to wash, and heard Shui Bi coming over and whispering.

Gu Qingwan's eyes moved slightly, revealing a hint of surprise, the six sons stayed with Yurong and them today to make lotus lanterns, if there was anything, how could it be inconvenient to wait for this dead of night at that time?

The sixth son knelt on the ground with his head bowed, Gu Qingwan leaned on the soft couch, and said softly, "Do you have something to say to me?" ”

"Master, the slave maid thinks that Xing'er is a little strange recently," Gu Qingwan's words made Gu Qingwan slightly stunned, if someone else would have done it, but this Xing'er has always been an honest person, and she never looked at it and asked questions. Even Gu Qingwan looked at these days, and she didn't notice that she was inappropriate.

Gu Qingwan slowed down a bit, and finally asked thoughtfully, "What's strange about you?" ”

"When she came to the Lord for dinner today, the slave and maid leaned close to her, and she smelled the fragrance of lotus petal orchids on her."

Even Gu Qingwan was shocked at this time, this lotus petal orchid has always been unique to the south, and it is the most delicate and difficult to feed. Even a place like the south of the Yangtze River with a gentle wind and drizzle may not be able to live, and this capital has always been the boundary of severe cold and heat, even if this flower is obtained in this palace, it is rare to be able to feed.

Gu Qingwan knew that in addition to a few plants in the emperor's Qiyuan Palace, only the queen mother and the queen had this lotus petal orchid.

Could it be that the queen is actually going to attack her?

"Can you be sure of the fragrance of the lotus petal orchid, as far as I know, this fragrance is extremely faint, are you really not mistaken?"

The sixth son kowtowed heavily on the ground and said: "The slave and maid are not mistaken, when the slave maid first entered the palace, she was on an errand in the imperial garden, and the slave maid's master was specially responsible for cultivating these flowers. The slave and maid came into contact with these flowers and plants, and would never dare to speak easily unless they were sure of it. ”

Gu Qingwan's thoughts had turned thousands of times in her mind, and at the end, she said, "Come here, I have something to say to you." ”

In a blink of an eye, it was the lotus festival, if it weren't for the emperor's love for lotus flowers, the palace would not have spent so much time on this lotus festival. Although the lotus festival is widely spread in the south of the Yangtze River, it has also attracted much attention in the capital in recent years.

It can be seen that if it is a child's favorite, it is a dog's tail grass, and others can boast of it as a flower.

In this harem, in addition to eating and drinking at the banquet, the most important thing is the lotus lantern. And this festival, the palace has always been lively, the rewards of the ladies of each palace have come down, because of the different positions and degrees of favor, this example is also different.

Although Gu Qingwan is in this Ronghua position, there are a lot of things that she is rewarded alone. Although the emperor is a few days away, he also sent the people of the Qiyuan Hall to reward things, and the rewards of other ladies have also arrived one after another. And the selection of materials to make clothes is also indispensable, and for a while, the harem instantly became lively.

This year's lotus festival dinner is placed next to this Jiuye Lake, the largest lake in the palace is this Yeting Lake, and the lotus flowers in Yeting Lake have the most wind and rain with infinite green lotus leaves. There is an exquisite garden next to Yeting Lake, in addition to planting various flowers and plants, a unique pavilion has also been repaired.

When it was time to go to the banquet, Gu Qingwan took Shui Bi and Yurong with them, and left the six sons to guard the Changle Palace. Although she didn't know what would happen today, she was worried in her heart.

"Lord, can we, the Emperor of the Lotus Lantern, look at it?" Yurong still asked Gu Qingwan quite reluctantly in the end.

Gu Qingwan looked at her in the past few days and was quite distressed about making a lotus lamp, and said comfortingly at this time: "It's just a lotus lamp, is it possible that I can't get this head, and the emperor won't come to my palace in the future?" ”

Tonight's Yeting Lake is exceptionally calm, and the surface of the lake is like a copper mirror, without even a trace of waves.

When Gu Qingwan arrived at this Moon Viewing Pavilion, she saw from a distance that someone had already taken a seat. At the top is the throne of the emperor and queen, and directly opposite is the stage. The concubines were seated on both sides in order, and the positions of those low-ranking concubines were arranged outside the pavilion.

Although the highlight of tonight is the lotus lantern, this singing has always been an indispensable part of the banquet in the palace.

This is also the first royal banquet that the new concubines have participated in since entering the palace, and they are all dressed as new palace maids, although they are constantly going back and forth, but they do not make a sound.

The first thing on is a box, which is a dragon and phoenix painting gold box dragon plate pillar, Qingwan can't help but look at the carving process.

And Han Ronghua next to her pushed her, she came to her senses, turned her head and said embarrassedly: "Is Sister Han calling me?" ”

Han Ronghua quipped: "Don't just stare at the food, my sister is staring at this food box all the time, isn't it that Sister Gu actually thinks this food box is more delicious?" ”

Gu Qingwan smiled embarrassedly: "My sister just thinks that this food box is exquisite, and she lost her temper for a while, but it made her laugh." ”

Sitting on Gu Qingwan's right hand today is Qian Guiyi, who has been in the palace for many years because she is not favored, so she has been staying in the position of the fifth grade Guiyi. Although he is only in his early twenties, the vicissitudes in his eyes seem to have gone through the baptism of years.

She smiled softly and spoke softly: "When I first entered the palace, I was quite shocked to see the family style, but my sister should be more suitable than others." ”

A few people laughed a few words, and then listened to the opera on the stage after singing. The Queen Mother did not show up for the banquet today, because the concubines were not so restrained.

After singing a scene, Zhonghuadan Tsing Yi stepped forward to salute, first the emperor nodded, quite appreciative, and waved his palm and said: "Reward." ”

Someone next to him immediately stepped forward to give a reward, and after the queen also finished rewarding, a group of people retreated from the stage. At this time, all the dishes had been served, so Shao Ye ordered everyone to drink together, and for a while, the banquet was quite lively.

Concubine Rou sat down next to her, and she was the closest to the emperor except for the queen. And the people sitting next to her are just her foils, the purple palace dress sets off her noble temperament, and the five-foot-long light purple smoke silk ribbon arm makes her stand out from the dust.

She raised the wine glass in her hand, and said lightly: "The concubine wishes the emperor to be so happy every day, and I wish my Dayan to sing and dance like this every year." Although the concubine could not drink alcohol, she replaced the wine with tea and drank this cup with the emperor. ”

Although Concubine Rou's voice was not loud, it was quiet inside and outside the pavilion at this time, so that all the concubines could hear Concubine Rou's words. For a while, there are those who regret that they didn't toast first, and there are those who disdain, and there are not a few who are expressionless.

Shao Ye's expression was extremely soft for a while, and he looked at the mood quite good, he looked at Concubine Rou's bulging waist and said, "Lian Qing really understands my heart very well, don't be polite when your body is heavy." However, I remember this glass of wine, and after the emperor was born, Lian Qing had to make up for this glass of wine. ”

Shao Ye's words came out of the emperor's mouth, and the queen's face changed for a while. Although the emperor seems to have annoyed her since Concubine Rou was self-defeating last time, she has always had a strong wrist, and she can coax the emperor to go to her palace every once in a while she is pregnant

Gu Qingwan looked at the peanuts on the plate, but it was good, so she peeled the peanuts while watching the performance of the imperial concubine Errao, which was also very comfortable.

And with the precedent of Concubine Rou, many beauties are going to come forward one after another to toast the emperor. And the amount of wine that the emperor drinks also depends on the degree of favor, like Concubine Rou, Shao Ye drank it without hesitation because of a glass of wine.

As for the other people who are not favored, he just touches the edge of the cup with his lips, and does not really drink. Seeing that even Liang Jieyu, who had always been indifferent and upright, went up to toast the emperor, Gu Qingwan looked at the wine glass in front of her, and hesitated between going up or not.

At this time, Luo Yi moved the lotus step lightly, and slowly walked to the emperor's seat with a wine glass, with a slight smoke on his face that had drunk wine, but the red color could not even be drawn with the best rouge.

"Although the concubine is not strong enough to drink, she also wants to toast the emperor with a glass. When the concubine did not enter the palace, although she never went out of this lotus festival, she also knew the beautiful scenery in the street, presumably the people could be so happy after living in peace. Therefore, the concubine will respect the emperor for the concubine to live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Shao Ye, who Mu Luozhi said, is a dragon's heart, even if the emperor does not show his scheming, but he is extremely high-minded when he hears good words.

Gu Qingwan looked at these individuals one by one with auspicious words, but she didn't know that the 'sisters' who were sneering at her in the past turned out to be more clever than the other.

After everyone has had a lively dinner, the next good show is to begin.

"Your Majesty, since everyone has finished eating, why don't you start appreciating the lotus lanterns," the queen, as the master of this harem, is to preside over the overall situation at this time.

Shao Ye got up and looked around with a smile and said, "Then let me evaluate the lotus lanterns that your concubines have prepared for many days. ”

For a while, the pink beauties present were in a mess. Immediately, let the palace people who have been preparing for a long time in their own palace hang their own lotus lanterns by the lake, for fear that they will be left behind, so that the emperor will look down on them.

When it was time to really appreciate the lotus lantern, Shao Ye and the queen walked in the front, while a cadre of concubines walked behind in an orderly manner.

Shao Ye looked at this delicate lotus lamp, but stopped when he walked to a place. He stared at the lotus lamp made into a half-flowered bud, delicately rolled into a lotus leaf that was enough to make a real one, and a faint fragrance wafted from the wick from time to time, as if it were really the lotus fragrance overflowing.

"Yes, this lamp is not the best workmanship, but it is better than ingenuity. I don't know which concubine's thoughts? ”

Gu Qingwan looked at her four different things, and was actually praised by Shao Ye, and the pressure was still quite high for a while. She hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Returning to the emperor is the bad work of the concubine." ”

Shao Ye glanced at the lantern twice, nodded and said, "It's really a bad work." ”

Emperor Xie, who had already come to his lips, praised him, but he turned into a ball of blood and suffocated in Gu Qingwan's heart, and she shook off the stiff smile at the corner of her mouth: "The concubine is stupid, and she can't compare to the ingenuity of other sisters." ”

At this time, some people were already chuckling, while many more had a sarcastic look in their eyes. It was Concubine Rou, Luo Yi and the others, but they looked at Gu Qingwan's eyes and changed again and again.

"But you have never been a good woman, and it is not easy to do this, Gong Ruhai, reward." Shao Ye's expression was quite serious, but there was a smile in his eyes.

After shopping down, Concubine Rou, Liang Jieyu and Han Ronghua's lotus lanterns were all rewarded by the emperor.

And at the end, it seemed that all the lotus lanterns had been watched, and at this time, Luo Yi walked out of the crowd, and --- respectfully blessed the emperor and queen, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine's lotus lantern is really a little different from the sisters, so please also ask the emperor to look at this Yeting Lake." ”

And as her words fell, there was a clear and lively music slowly sounded, and the leaf boat slowly came from the depths of Yeting Lake.

And when the boat approached, everyone saw that it was originally a lotus boat, and the blooming lotus petals were slowly swaying in the lake, and there was a soft and moving figure standing in the middle of the lotus heart. This person was dressed in a lake brocade palace costume, and as the lotus boat moved lightly, he saw that the people on the boat were about to dance with lotus lanterns in their hands.

Everyone else was looking at the beauty on the lotus boat, but Gu Qingwan was staring at the bottom of the lake. Originally, she thought that this lotus boat used some kind of sophisticated skills to move on its own, but at this time, it turned out that there were two people pushing the lotus boat to float on the lake.

Gu Qingwan couldn't help but mourn for these palace people in her heart, it was obviously the master who was tossing blindly, but it was their minions who were tossed.

While the others were still watching, Gu Qingwan was thinking about when she would be able to go back. She can't be blamed for not being aggressive, it's true that others have even used killer tricks, so she should go back first and think about other ways to attract customers.

At this time, even Gu Qingwan couldn't help but sigh, this harem competition for favor is really endless, it seems that her solicitation methods really need to be upgraded.

However, when the beauty on the lotus boat came ashore, Gu Qingwan was immediately a little startled.

Because as soon as this woman came ashore, she saluted the emperor and praised: "Concubines often participate in the emperor and the queen's mother in Chen Xuewei." ”

Even Gu Qingwan couldn't help but look at Mu Luozhi at this time, but Mu Luozhi's eyes were also looking at this side. If others don't know, it's fine, but it's clear that this Chen Xuewei is the one who framed her that day.

Mu Luozhi had a gentle and tranquil smile on her face, and the smile in her eyes became deeper and deeper.

Tonight, Mu Luozhi uses people as lamps and scenery as a backdrop, but she is really delicate and meticulous, but she helps others invite pets, but this kind of mind is unguessable.

This Yeting Lake is very cool at night, and the breeze blows with a burst of freshness on every face, but now no one wants to enjoy the coolness of Yeting Lake. is the dignified and generous queen who has always behaved, and her face is obviously a little ugly at this time.

The empress has always been a favor, but even the queen is helping Yue Chongyuan secretly, but Mu Luozhi's actions at this time make her dissatisfied.

I saw Mu Luozhi said: "The concubine originally only planned to make a delicate lotus lamp, but Sister Chen has always been a clever person, she came up with such a scene and thought that the curtain was lined with a lake and people were a good idea, so that the concubine borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, hoping to get the emperor's jackpot." ”

Shao Ye stood sideways, standing by the lake, looking extraordinarily chic and majestic. He lowered his eyes to look at Chen Xuewei who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a lazy voice: "Raise your head." ”

Chen Xuewei was worried in her heart at this time, and when she heard the emperor's mellow voice, she immediately blushed, and her actions were even more respectful with her daughter's three points of beauty. The thick and soft hair like ink is completed by the flying fairy bun, and the white cheeks are slightly powdered, looking at it under this water and moonlight, it is like the floating flying fairy.

"It's really a good idea," Shao Ye asked the palace people next to her to help her up after saying this.

Mu Luozhi looked at the look in the emperor's eyes, and immediately said: "Emperor Xie praised, the concubine has never been a good dancer, so I invited this sister Chen." I just don't know that the concubine's lotus lamp tonight is in line with the emperor's thoughts? ”

"This idea is something else, and the dance is also danced by someone else, but you came to ask for this lottery." Shao Ye was in a good mood, and said with a smile in front of everyone.

And the queen and the others naturally did not sweep the emperor's mind, and the queen saw that it was neither Concubine Jingde who pulled out the first prize, nor Concubine Rou who won the jackpot. It's just a new favorite, and I'm happy to follow the emperor's thoughts. She said: "This Chen Changzai is also the younger sister who has just entered the palace, and with such a good intention today, the concubine thinks she deserves this jackpot." ”

The emperor glanced at the empress and said, "Tonight, I am often in the Chen family's thoughts, and I am very rewarded." ”

Chen Xuewei immediately smiled, and she wanted to kneel down to thank her.

And when the concubines looked at this scene, how many handkerchiefs were being torn in secret, but it was estimated that what they wanted to tear apart more was this Mu Luozhi.

When the emperor was about to lead everyone back to the pavilion, Gong Ruhai suddenly stepped forward at this time, and after a few words in Shao Ye's ear, Shao Ye's face changed greatly.

"Are people still waiting?"

Gong Ruhai also said with a cautious face: "The person is already in the study." ”

The queen looked at the emperor like this, and immediately asked with concern: "If there is something in the previous dynasty, the emperor can just go over, and there are concubines here." ”

The emperor explained a few words to the empress, and then left with Gong Ruhai, looking at this appearance, there must be something important.

And the beauties behind him, if they didn't care about their manners, they would immediately laugh out loud. Even if this Mu Luozhi can't fight this with all his thoughts, he really helps everyone.

The queen turned her head to Chen Xuewei, who was standing aside, and said: "Since the emperor ordered Chen Chang to sleep, he is always there to go back and wait, if the affairs of the previous dynasty are busy, I think the emperor will remember to be always there." ”

Chen Xuewei bit her lip lightly and tears rolled in her eyes a few times, but in the end, she bowed her head and saluted the queen, that is, she said goodbye and left.

The queen looked at the joy on everyone's faces, and her heart was quite comfortable, after all, no matter what, she still didn't like a wife who acted too out of line. She looked around: "Since the emperor is entangled in the affairs of the previous dynasty, let's go back to the palace separately." ”

After the concubines knelt to see the queen away, they walked to their respective frames to return to the palace.

Concubine Rou held the hand of the palace maid beside her, looked at Mu Luozhi who was standing behind her, and immediately smiled: "Sister Luo, I really can be called the first person in this harem to be virtuous and virtuous, and the emperor praised you for your dexterous and chic, and it is really true." ”

Mu Luozhi's knees bent slightly, and she saluted back: "The concubine should not be so praised by the emperor and the mother." ”

Gu Qingwan looked at the night when life was like a drama, and she was also quite tired, so sure enough, she went back to her palace and found her mother.

When Gu Qingwan changed her bed clothes and walked to the bed with Yurong's arm, she heard a noise outside, and both of them were quite strange in their hearts.

Soon Shui Bi pushed the door in, walked over and said, "Lord, Han Guiyi has given birth." ”

Although this Han Guiyi's child, Gu Qingwan, knew in her heart that it was difficult to protect, she was really surprised to give birth so quickly. She immediately asked, "What's going on?" At the dinner party, I still saw that Han Guiyi's fetus was quite stable, how could it take a while to give birth. ”

Shui Bi was sweating on her forehead, and she only heard her say: "Han Guiyi went to the banquet tonight, but she drank a bowl of white fungus lotus seed soup at the banquet, who knew that it would start to turn red soon after she went back." At this time, the doctor rushed to hear that the child was ...... It's gone, but I'm trying my best to save Han Guiyi. ”

Gu Qingwan immediately said: "If that's the case, let's go over and take a look." ”

This time it wasn't like Concubine Rou's last false alarm, it was Yurong who just wore a simple pink pleated skirt for Gu Qingwan, and even the headdress was only slightly different.

Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "The Bright Moon and the Breeze is Not as Good as Your Claw Book House" for the first time.
